What are the four types of agency?

A Universal agent handles all delegated business of the Principal. The Universal agent often has a Power of Attorney and would be called an Attorney-in-Fact. An example would be a person who is appointed to handle the daily affairs of an individual who is no longer capable of handling these on their own. A universal agent in acting in their capacity for all practical purposes, is the person when signing on their behalf. This agency ceases upon the death of the individual whose affairs the agent is responsible and will defer to the estate at that point or the revocation of such a power of attorney. A General Agent handles multiple transactions of a principal/client. One example in real estate would be property management. All sales associates who work under a broker are general agents of that broker, meaning that they have a fiduciary responsibility and a loyalty to that broker. A Sub-Agency is the relationship between a sales associate to a principal/client. In all relationships, the broker is the agent (when the relationship is established) and the sales associates under that broker are sub-agents to that principal*. An Agency coupled with an Interest is defined as the real estate licensee who is a partner in the ownership of the property as well as represents the partners in an agency relationship. A Special Agent handles one transaction for one seller of one property. This is the most common type of real estate representation when an agency relationship is established. The broker can represent several sellers on one house each at one time but never the seller and buyer for a the same transaction.

transaction broker

A transaction broker is defined as a broker who provides limited representation to a buyer, a seller or both, in a real estate transaction, but does not represent either in a fiduciary capacity or as a single agent.

What Events Cause the Termination of Agency

Agency is considered terminated when: The fulfillment of the purpose of agency is completed (i.e. the transaction is complete). The time limit has expired as stated in the agreement (i.e. the listing agreement expires or a buyer's agreement expires). A Breach or cancellation by one of the parties is given: renunciation by the broker ("I quit") or revocation by the principal ("You're fired"). Mutual consent is given (both parties is mutually agree that it is in the best interest of all the parties to terminate the agreement). Death or incapacitation of either party occurs (i.e. the seller or broker dies). Destruction of the property or a change in the property is caused by outside forces (i.e. a change in zoning or condemnation etc.). Bankruptcy of either party or foreclosure of the property occurs. En

List and describe the duties owed in each authorized relationship.

non agency relp

As an agent, you normally work with a buyer or a seller and have a defined relationship with that person. There are times you may help a buyer or seller without being their authorized representative. In this case you have a non-agency relationship, a situation where you have no binding or legal responsibility to the other party.

Distinguish among non-representation, single-agent and a transaction broker.

Non: Agent reps buyer dir'ly or seller dirly only. Single: Agents reps one part - seller or buyer; transaction broker - The broker just handles the transaction not advocating i's. Designated Sales Associate: is a special case for non-residential transactions where two licensees under the direction of one broker act as single agents. One represents the buyer and the other the seller.Both buyer and seller must verify assets of more than $1 million.
